For Random Recipes go to Pam at Random Thoughts .I found this great Pot Roast recipe in my 5 Ingredients Favorite Slow Cooker Cook Book. I made it, and it is so yummy. For more recipes you can go to Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.Are you tired of hearing about your Mother-in-Laws pot roast, well this one will taste just as good, if not better. And you can make gravy with it too. I get excited about gravy because I just recently learned how to make gravy without the white lumps of corn starch in it. You can tell I am not a great cook and I get excited about and easy, delicious recipes.The combination of salad dressings may sound strange but it is good.

1. Place the chuck roast in the slow cooker.2. In a small bowl, combine the salad dressing and gravy mixes. Stir in water. Pour over meat.3. Cover and cook on Low 7-8 hours, or until the meat is tender but not dry.4.If you wish, thicken the cooking juices for gravy.remove the meat at the end of the cooking time and keep warm on a platter.5.Turn cooker on to High. Bring to a boil.6. Meanwhile, mix 1 Tbsp. flour with 1/2 cup water in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake until smooth.7. When juices come to a boil, pour flour-water into cooker in a thin stream constantly. Continue cooking and stirring until juices thicken.8. Serve over meat, or in a side along with the meat.

Also I have some great news but I have to write about it later because I have a school function to go to. So check back later today.
